  • A thinktank backed by 16 peers has criticised the government's plan to lift a ban on compensation for unlawful detention during the Troubles.

Sir Keir Starmer has stated that the government will explore "every conceivable way" to prevent former Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams from receiving a £1.5m compensation payout. This follows a High Court ruling that Adams' detention without trial in 1973 was unlawful, entitling him to damages. The Labour leader emphasized the need to ensure that public funds are not used for this purpose, highlighting the sensitivity around the issue due to Adams' controversial past and the ongoing political implications. The government's response comes amidst public and political debate over the appropriateness of compensating individuals involved in the Troubles, especially those with significant historical roles.
